a new by. the bible tells us to every day there is a season a time to barrow a time to reprint a time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time to hear in america. alongside biden a woman who says she's determined to heal the country's rice who divisions camilla harris will be the country's 1st female a minority vice president she did the katie did victory to the civil rights movement and said it will help restore us democracy and when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election with the very soul of america at stake and the world watching you ushered in a new day for america. in washington d.c.

and in many of america's blue states that was celebrations for these people and many elsewhere not motz a huge victory in america's beats a culture war. they see themselves as weakness who've won back their own country or like america again and i feels like it feels like we're now back on the right track america is back we have regained america for all people time is static for the nation. but the other americas being out on the streets 2 on saturday stop the steel rallies were held in closely contested states like here in michigan these people believe the president's on verified theories of you biden's claims to be the we know with suspicion. but only believe they had a landslide on the night and now they if they get their eyes in anchorage president charles a continuous non-serious. you know for. i forgot you know this the stealing of this

stuff is new in the selection right now the current president looks like he's digging into his bunker as joe biden won the election and donald trump went golfing supporters cheat him on the way back to the white house so much of red america don't know trump is still very much their president. for more on this and action i'm joined by. u.s. election tame thanks for coming in pay to or so biden paris time now take over the reins in january as i indicated at all what the 1st step policy was will be to have $1.00 of the very 1st steps is going to be to set up a coronavirus task force to get the pen democratic control. and on top of that we know that by explaining a flurry of executive. decisions to orders to reverse a lot of the policies that trump has put in place he trump was not able to get

a lot of actual legislation done so took a lot of action through his powers asked president through secular voters so that will be a bit easier for biden to reverse those and that includes rejoining the world health organization which left not too long ago it will be rejoined the climate of course will be reversing. more than 100 trumpet a place to water down climate protections repeal the ban on. you know majority muslim countries the travel ban. and so on and so forth the question is whether or not biden and come all hers will be able to get through any major real legislation because of the situation congress where we're currently looking at this senate could either swing could it either stay with the republicans or could come down to a 5050 split i can't honestly very top making it very tough for a bite in. the new congress demanded by the president wants to just i'm not going

to talk about common house quickly but i mean she's made history in so many ways with this win what sort of change does she represent in u.s. politics she will become the highest ranking woman. in the united states since the. birth of the country on top of being the 1st woman she will obviously also be the 1st woman of color of asian american descent so when she took the stage last night she really a strong gave a strong not so that she was wearing a sweet see here all white which was a nod to the suffragist who fought for women's rights vote a 100 years ago it's hard i think to overstate the symbolic importance of kabul harris not just for women in general but really also for women of color many describing this moment as really their kind of barack obama moment where they see someone in office that they can finally identify with. and she said in her speech

on saturday that you know she may be the 1st woman in office but she will not be the last so i think she's very aware of her story position country now moving to president trump he hasn't can say to defeat yet in fact he's repeatedly announced he's going to challenge the outcome in court not what are his chances to influence or even change the decision here right i mean we we know that he has fathered least 7 lawsuits in a lot of these battleground states several of them have already been dismissed those so it is the big question how much success he will have if they go anywhere and that is a big it will be enough to fundamentally change this outcome in pennsylvania for instance a state with 20 electoral college votes that put by an over the top biden is in the lead by about 40000 points but he could actually still lose pennsylvania and still clinch the with because of states like georgia so biden still has

a lot more options even if trump should turn out to be successful in some of these states and if i could just add last one note this would have to go to the supreme court then and we have 3 justices on the court the court has told it in trumps favor in terms of of he's gotten to a point 3 nominees or 3 justices there. but 3 of them have been involved were involved in the 2000 recount in florida and that was a highly criticized decision because the court injected itself into a political situation so the question really is also if the supreme court would like to see it wants to get involved in a situation that is so contentious that could create an even deeper rift in the country ron paul the da thanks very much for the analysis. how is the news of biden's victory being received here in germany our reporters have been getting reaction from people on the ground talk open i think what you

want to but he has divided the united states let's see what i will bring in the end it can only get better for america on the face of america. i am sad yet i hope that change but i'm no on biden side. he definitely is the better choice in the end trump and his methods are impossible maybe the world will be a more peaceful place now. that's better than charm for sure. i'm on it's always a matter of opinion but after the way trump has acted in public i think for the us it's better that biden has one. more of the view from germany i'm joined now by obama nor of poison greens m.p. in the german bundestag of the party's foreign policy spokes person he's also part of the german us palm entry friendship group this new report thanks for joining it's good to have you on the program what does bob biden victory name for german u.s. ties. first it's good to have

a president who understand of cooperation is win win thing and it's not about only deal with losers and and when there's a 2nd it's good to have a president who is not spreading untrue and is not offensive when it comes to germany publicly but we absolutely see that the major task for the next is not united states our good side our domestic issues it's about racism it's about. managing the economy and the pandemic so it absolutely necessary to understand for europe and for germany that this is maybe the last call for us to stand for and. stand up and then just relying on the american calorie coming in my mini state touched on a couple of issues they one about controversial issues like germany's contribution to night or to the north's train to gas pipeline which the times of ministration

says once germany too dependent on russia is a biden administration likely to take a different approach on these issues. nelson is a perfect example for for the differences we can expect i personally always opposed to this pipeline because it's a force the wider for europe you can imagine but there is a huge difference between opposing a pipeline from from abroad or just going for secondary sanctions which are while 80 are sovereignty in germany so fighting north stream is one thing but just while a thing every international rules and terms of friendship is not a one man i just can hope. very very high the comments that the president biden would. now along with many other international treaties of course the united states on the trunk withdrew from the nuclear deal with iran what do you think we could expect from by the presidency for the us iranian relationship.

mr biden always liberated that he had it way out the right to challenge the middle east iran is a highly aggressive player there they are prone to make you try which is not acceptable their missile program and highly offended by them to have to talk about all of the human rights situation in iran is bad but they have been one problem which we hope for 10 years i mean their nuclear program this is our neighborhood in the middle east with no boat of your own which is. present to be the problem of nuclear right so. the bided always. come back to the deal but don't forget the other issues and be have to team up the last 4 years where the way you wrote and the us could team up to challenge the iranian challenge its review seeing and be afraid so with time to come back to work on a sniffle thanks very much on time ahmed nonprofit germany's foreign affairs

committee as we've heard donald trump is refusing to concede to states in the election instead pledging to press ahead with label challenges in several states and in the pos presidential candidates has publicly admitted to fate and congratulated their victorious opponents let's have a listen to some of those concessions baches i just that governor clinton over in little rock and offered my congratulations he did run a strong campaign i wish him well in the white house and i want the country to know that our entire administration will work closely with his team to ensure this smooth transition of power there is important work to be done and america must always come 1st so we will get behind this new president which thank you. in a contest as long and difficult campaign has been. his success alone commands my

respect for his ability and perseverance but that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of americans. believe that they have little at stake or little influence in the election of an american president is something i deeply admire and commend him for achieving. this is an historic election and i recognize the special significance it has for african-americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight good evening just moments ago i spoke with george w. bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the united states and i promised him that i wouldn't call him back this time. i offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we passed. now watching the news more headlines at the
